| Message | Mr. Speaker, the current laws do not harm the freedom of the press to _print_; rather, they give legal recourse to those who find themselves affected by publicly-distributed falsehoods. Why should we remove this protection from the individual? |
| Date | 22:51:11, January 27, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the CEP 60 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, with freedom of speech comes certain necessary protections. Distribution of false information is threatening to the freedom of information, and should be limited. |
